Breisgau Bay

The Breisgau Bay is a natural spatial subdivision in the south of Baden-Württemberg , the central natural area of which is the Freiburg Bay (in the narrower sense). The terms Freiburg Bay (in the broader sense) and Mooswald were used synonymously for Breisgau Bay . However, these are also contained in the geographical survey of Germany or in the manual of the natural spatial structure of Germany with a different meaning. The Breisgau Bay was named after the Breisgau region .

The term was coined, for example, by the Breisgauer Bucht waste water association founded in 1966 with its sewage treatment plant in the Forchheim district .

Jörg Stadelbauer described the Breisgau Bay in 1980 as an area between the Rhine and the foothills zone , which is delimited by the following natural areas:

	Kaiserstuhl	Lahr - Emmendinger - Vorbergzone
Rhine		Black Forest main fault
	Markgräflerland

In addition to the Freiburg Bay in the narrower sense, the following sub-areas belong to the Breisgau Bay:

Staufen Bay and Neumagen - Möhlin lowland
Schönberg Group
Tuniberg , Nimberg and Mengener Bridge
Elz - Dreisam lowland
